Darla!

Blog

  • Sunday


    Whoops! Look at me missing a whole week of blogging. Really, I’m trying to get back to regular blogging like I used to do back in 2011, but it’s just so, so hard. Life happens, but no interesting thing shows up; nothing to blog about. So I guess I’ve grown up to be a boring, lame adult who never has fun and just work work work for the job she doesn’t really like. *sigh*

    But, BUT, rambling set aside, my fiance and I did a little photo session for our save the date. We chose to have it at the very first place we met: our university, or the Partere Park to be precise. We went back to the exact same spot where we first introduced ourselves to each other. Although I actually wrote a blog post when we first met, I haven’t really told the story of how we met (like met met, not met met–get it? Haha). It was kind of funny. Everytime I look back, I always smile and think “Oh how I wouldn’t have even thought about marrying that skinny boy!” (he was skinny). Maybe I’ll just save the story for later, eh?

    Anyway, hope you have a great weekend! XOXO

  • Bridezilla Diary #1


    I’m very lucky. My wedding planning goes smoothly without any trouble so far. We already set a date, booked the venue plus the wedding singer (in one package), and ordered the food and beverages. We only need to fix our guest list and then choose the dress. I can’t be measured for my dress yet, because I’ve just hit my lowest number on the scale. I’m 46 kg. This is my lightest weight since junior high. I need to gain at least 3 kg. I have to eat more.

    A and I have been busy. We haven’t had the chance to have out engagement photos taken. Hopefully we can do it ASAP so we can make a save the date announcement. I’m so excited!

  • Weekend Links


    This week, I had three days off (not including Sunday). Too bad I got sick on Sunday and spent said days off staying home. But, hey! At least I got to stay home and I got the internet back after being down for a few days last week, so I managed to collect several links to share with you. Hopefully I can make this post a regular. I’m not good at posting weekly posts (I failed miserably several times), but I’m going to alternate between links post and quote post every week. I hope I can make it this time 😉

  • Secrets

    NOTE:
    This post has been sitting on my draft folder for months now. I’m posting it today because I’ve been thinking of confessing. I have a big secret. I still don’t have the guts to confess, but someday I will say it. I will tell the world.


    I’ve been following Blogsecret and reading PostSecret for months now. I keep seeing secrets on my Tumblr dashboard every time I log in. Sometimes it’s kinda comforting to see people’s secrets and some that we can relate to. It’s nice to know that we’re not in this alone. There are 7.038.044.500 people in the world, and right now another soul is being born. Among those people, there are some who feel exactly what we’re feeling right now. I’m quite sure about that.

    Not long ago, one friend came out of the closet. And yesterday, another one did the same. Their statements somehow had initiated a thought in my mind: How many people around me are actually keeping a big secret?

    How many of them are not what they seem to be?
    How many of them are pretending just to make their surroundings happy?
    How many of them are acting like someone that the society expects?
    How many of them are gay?
    How many of them are atheist?
    How many of them are no longer a virgin?

    They exist. They’re around us, those people with their eyes screaming to be heard. I wonder how many people I know are keeping a big secret.

    And I can’t help but wonder, too, if I’m actually keeping a big secret myself.

  • Tune In Thursday

    I’ve just recently discovered New Politics (I’m always late in almost everything!) and now I’m super obsessed with this band. New Politics is a Danish dance-rock band. While this is usually not my genre, I am so much in love with their single entitled “Tonight You’re Perfect” from their latest album. Another favourite is “Stuck On You” from the same album. Here they are:



    So, are you guys into New Politics too? Any other band I should start listening to?
